THE FRATELLIS - Costello Music out March 13

The sound of handclaps and dropped beer bottle caps makes the album feel like sing-a-longs you stumble upon in the back rooms of house parties. With that said, the highly anticipated U.S. release of Costello Music, The Fratellis will debut their full-length release on Interscope/Cherrytree Records on March 13th.

The thirteen songs off Costello Music were recorded in Los Angeles (with Beck producer Tony Hoffer), letting in a bit of California sunshine to pierce any lingering Glaswegian gloom. The album leaves no room for a single un-fun thought!

The Fratellis have received rapturous praise in the U.K. where Costello Music debuted at #2 (directly behind Justin Timberlake) and where they've recently been nominated for a British Music Award for "Best Breakthrough Act." They've been compared to everyone fro Oasis and Arctic Monkeys, to the Kinks and T. Rex, but both praise and comparison leave the laid-back Fratellis unfazed.

With that said, check out the first single "Flathead," where wood blocks and acoustic guitars weave around the visual observations of the lyrics.
